Nestle....

Sangat Ji,

In light of the comments made by some people on this board regarding 'lecithin', I did some research myslef and found that it does correctly come from eggs...

I was reading some of the 'ingredients' on the back of chocolates by Nestle and found that common chocolate bars such as Kit Kat, Aero etc said that they contained 'lecithin', so I was like and decided to write to the company via e-mail.

This is what I wrote:

I would like to know about one of the ingredients in your products; specifically found in many chocolates which you mass produce. I would like to know the source of the ingredient 'lecithin' which is commonly found in products such as KitKat, Aero etc. Does Lecithin come from eggs? I would like to know, as I am a strict vegetarian and did not know that this product came from eggs until recently. I would appreciate it if you could please get back to me as soon as possible and would like to thank you in advance for your help.

and they replied today with:
